Kirkland & Ellis has announced the addition of two real estate partners in New York—one from Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson and the other from Schulte Roth & Zabel.

The firm said Monday it has added Matthew Bettinger and Seth Henslovitz as partners, with the firm’s chairman calling them “rising leaders” in real estate finance.

“Matt and Seth are talented real estate finance lawyers and rising leaders in this area,” said Kirkland chair Jon Ballis in a statement. “We’re thrilled to have them join the team.”

Bettinger, who joins from Fried Frank, has counseled investment funds, real estate investment trusts, banks and insurance companies, and has experience in loan originations and syndications, and debt restructurings, the firm noted in a release.

Henslovitz, who joins from Schulte, has advised clients like real estate private equity funds, investment trusts and insurance companies, plus owners and developers of commercial office buildings, shopping centers and hotels. He’s counseled on both the borrowing and lending side of financing commercial mortgage and mezzanine debt, workouts and debt restructurings, according to the firm.

“They bring breadth and depth in terms of experience guiding some of the most complex financing deals for real estate clients and are both recognized within the industry as up-and-coming leaders,” added Kirkland real estate partner Victoria Shusterman in a statement.

Schulte co-managing partners David Efron and Marc Elovitz said in a statement that they thank Henslovitz “for his contributions to the firm and wish him continued success.”

Even as the year winds down, Big Law’s talent battle is showing few signs of slowing down, with industry observers saying the surge in demand and profits among many firms this year could help accelerate significant lateral moves in 2025, and that no firm is immune from market pressure.

Weil, Gotshal & Manges also announced partner pick-ups Monday, on the heels of departures to Latham & Watkins and Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison.
